Welcome to Classeasily! These Terms of Service ('Terms') constitute a legally binding agreement between you ('you', 'User') and Classeasily Inc.

If you do not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Platform.
We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the revised Terms on the Platform or through other communication channels. Your continued use of the Platform after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

3. Eligibility and Account Registration
To use the Platform to make a booking, whether by creating an account or checking out as a guest, you must be at least 18 years old or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction. By making a booking, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.
A User who meets this age requirement (e.g., a parent or legal guardian) may book a Class on behalf of a minor. If you do so, you represent and warrant that you are the minor's legal guardian, and you agree to these Terms on behalf of the minor. You are solely responsible for the minor’s conduct, safety, and compliance with any Class rules or requirements.
Booking for Age-Restricted Classes: To book or attend any Class that involves the sale, service, or consumption of alcohol, you must be at least 19 years old (the legal drinking age in Ontario). All attendees of such classes must provide valid government-issued photo identification upon request by the Host. You may not book an alcohol-related class on behalf of anyone under the age of 19.
If you choose to create an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password (if you create one) and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify Classeasily immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. Classeasily will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.
Classeasily reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account, or cancel any bookings, if any information provided is inaccurate, not current, incomplete, or if you violate these Terms.
4. Nature of the Platform
Classeasily provides an online marketplace that enables Hosts to publish Listings for Classes and communicate with Students seeking such Classes. Students can search for, communicate with Hosts about, and book Classes directly with Hosts through the Platform.
Important Disclaimer: Classeasily acts solely as a facilitator and is not a party to any agreement entered into between Students and Hosts. Classeasily does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Classes or Listings. Hosts are solely responsible for their Listings and Classes. When Students make or accept a Booking, they are entering into a contract directly with the Host.
While Classeasily may facilitate dispute resolution, we have no control over and do not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Classes, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, ratings, reviews, or other User Content, or (iii) the performance or conduct of any User or third party. Classeasily does not endorse any User, Listing, or Class. Any verification or background check information provided is for informational purposes only and is not an endorsement, certification, or guarantee.
